You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good Podcast, episode 69, three things that keep you stuck in porn.

Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn.

This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and thousands of lives.

I'm your host, Sarah Brewer. Hey, you guys, welcome to the podcast episode this week. So glad you're here.

I'm losing my voice a little bit. And so hopefully it sticks around for this podcast episode. If it's a little

scratchy and anyways, I'm trying to talk directly into the microphone so you can hear me okay.

Before we dive into our content today, the three things that will keep you stuck in porn

that I want to address with you. These are things

that I've seen come up recently over and over and over again. Things that, you know, when I do my

group coaching calls every single week with everyone in the program, this is what I say to. I'm going

to say, these group coaching calls are so, so valuable. In fact, a lot of people like them

more than one-on-one in private coaching. And me, too,

like I always get the most out of my group coaching calls when I am, like for myself, when I'm in

group coaching calls for myself, what you learn there is you learn, number one, most people are

thinking the same things you are. You're not alone. It's a really great way to decrease shame as being in a group with a lot of people struggling with the same things. And number two, like I said, a lot of people have these same struggles and these same thoughts and these same specific things that come up. And you can always apply them to you. They're always applicable to you. You always come to a call and you get so much from it, even if you don't actually want to talk and actually be coached.

Like I've had so many people quit porn just from listening to the calls, not even coming and getting coached themselves because it's

just so applicable. And honestly, our brains were a little bit less resistant to change if we're

not on the hot seat sometimes, you know? You're on the hot seat and you're the one who's being

coached and being vulnerable and talking to. It's an amazing, beautiful, like super powerful thing you can do for yourself. And, and, like, sometimes

your brain isn't as open to changing because you're feeling nervous or feeling a little bit more

resistant because it's your brain and your thoughts. And so sometimes it's so helpful just to

listen to, right? Both are helpful.
